I tried contacting the Census Bureau for census 2010 job opportunities here in Buffalo at the beginning of this year and they had no openings. There doesn't seem to be any decent paying jobs in this town.

1. They contacted me, asking if I was interested in a job. I told them I was already a full time student, and that for now I wouldn't be able to take the job, sadly. (They required 40 hours of training, and since I was student...I couldnt get out of class that much to meet the training requirements.) They said there would be night classes offered at some point. Repeat 2x.

2. They called me and asked if I was still interested. There were no job offerings available, but they were just checking. Repeat 3x.

3. When I was finally done with school, I received no word for weeks. They had stated I would be contacted, and that I should not contact them.

4. When I finally did get tired of waiting (I was already working anyhow), I called and asked what the situation was. It turns out, that after refusing to work for them 3 times, they put me on their "f*ck him he doesnt want to work with us list". or, the "Ineligible" list.

5. I was told to speak to a manager, and I did. I explained the situation to her, and she put me back on the "Eligible" list.

6. No word for 3 months. I gave up long ago.

7. 2 Weeks ago: They called me to confirm that A). I was still interested in the job. B) Asked if I could speak any foreign languages fluently. (no.) Repeat 3x.
